I stand by my point: either you were suggesting that drug abuse might be a factor here or you were bringing up something approximately irrelevant. Either way, that's shitty. Let people have their time to pay their respects and mourn without you jumping in with your kids-eat-your-veggies hobbyhorse.
It's been observed many times before that when someone online starts describing another persons stance as "either you X or you Y" they're generally involved in a false dichotomy.
So congratulations wpeitri, you're just like almost everyone else on the internet. You have an opinion and nothing will convince you otherwise.
Are you happy about that?
By the way, your I-am-the-superior-intellect pose would be more convincing with better spelling. Note also that "It's been observed" and "they're generally" is classic weasel wording. [1] If you think the truth lies outside my constructed dichotomy, by all means make it clear what you are claiming the truth is.
You know, I never said anything about 'illegal drug use'. Maybe I chose poor words that would have one think I meant that? But I made several comments elaborating that's not what I meant after having made the initial comment. You made your posts after I made those comments. And I'm telling you now too that's not what I meant -- and I told you that before too -- it's just not what I meant. So there's really no reason to keep going on about this, do we agree?
Maybe take a break and smell the fresh air? I hope all is well with you.
I don't have any need to keep talking about it, and you seem unwilling to come to grips with my actual point, so if you'd like to be done with it, I'm not stopping you.
It isn't really about me using weasel words or swapping the i/e in your name, it's about you using character assassination in your head to convince yourself I can't possibly have a point.
Good day to you.
This is an example where I'd far rather people just downvote each other and move on than post these bickering threads.
Maybe I'm wrong though.
We have every right to communicate, no one has verbally attacked anyone else, if it really bothers you just skip on by instead of taking the time to make sure we're aware that you're judging everyone involved in the conversation.
Is that unfair? Well, so where you :)
